Boycott (idea)

Boycotting doesn't work because it's too passive. If you aren't going to take an active role in protesting something, you aren't going to make a difference. I'm tired of these lazyopinionated people who fool thememselves into thinking that they are being part of the change, while watching active people do all the work.

I know that boycotting has been effective in the past, but it works only if at least a significant double-digit percentage of the population will faithfully follow through. If you can't expect to get these kinds of numbers (think 30-50 million people in the USA), you are much better off getting your message out by other (active) means. These companies have enough power that single-digit dips in their sales for a few months do no more damage than an occasional bad marketing campaign.
